About The Position

At Biamp, we are deeply immersed in the world of audio and video technologies, driven by a commitment to tackling challenging problems and devising innovative solutions. We are seeking a dynamic and creative Firmware Engineer to join our Core Technologies Team in Rochester, NY. As part of this role, you'll help us rethink how firmware gets built. We're actively integrating AI-assisted development into our engineering workflow — using tools like Claude Code and similar AI coding assistants to speed up everything from writing and refactoring embedded Linux code to debugging drivers, generating unit tests, and navigating unfamiliar codebases. You won't just be writing C++ by hand; you'll be learning to pair effectively with AI to move faster on multithreaded applications, driver development, and networking products, while still applying the deep systems-level judgment that AI can't replace. If you're excited about being on the leading edge of how firmware teams actually work in an AI-augmented world, this is the place to figure that out.
